30 April 

Day 30

From Poetry Society - a summary of April

30

Virus didn't know or care but 

flowered

Scientists and artists

responded in their kind

Time capsules we lived in,

quite apart

Made a loop track,

everything repeated

The children stopped asking questions

The new soon became old

Nature returns-

just look at the dragons

Abrasive edges off -

we love each other now

Druggies in the street, 

nodding off and dreaming us

Online's the only thing 

that's real, I think

Baked so many birds into pies,

definition of normal

PPE for the bride..

all window dressing

We video call

and I can see your faces

Slippery eel politicians

slip back in the water

Seen stars

dug the earth up

Somehow you're returning to yourself-

many meanings of love
